Observation Narrative	original plot ID: AA0088, Vegetation type confidence: 3320 or 3321. Definite Salvia mellifera alliance but Eriogonum fasciculatum is at a very low cover-probably less than 1 percent.; Salvia mellifera well-distributed. Malacothamnus fasciculatus is an edge-effect. Best associated with Salvia leucophylla.;
